Mr.. NJ. T. Gordy returned a few
DAYS ago from a short but pleasan,
trip to Franklin.
The German Club met last Wed
ueslav night at Mr.. VIM. Cade's.
A most enjoyable occasion was the
result, as we'll might be anticipated.
Last Sunday while the family was
absent at church. fire broke out in
the corn crib Of Ar. Desire Leblanc,
about four miles northeast OF our
Town, on the Lafayette road, des-
troying the building aud contents.
Loss about $3.50. This will prove
quite a heavy blow as all the corn
and forage we've consumed.
There are a few outlaws in the
western portion Of this parish who
have recently been engaged in the
nefarious act of cutting wire fences
Of peaceable citizens. It seems to
us that a stop could be put to this
wholesale destruction Of private
property, if the proper steps were
taken. Such a state of things
should not exist in a pcaceabie anu
l~awa5iding Community.
We are informed that in conse-
qnencc of the failure CT the engineer
to put in an appearance on the day
he was expected at Jeanerette, the
commencing Of grading the road
was postponed from the 18th until
some time early next week. In re-
gard to the depot grounds here our
informant saws it is impossible for
him to say what place would be the
most suitable, as the company will
require sufficient room to make a
wharf for boats to Land at and
erect large warehouses. lie also
says that the building Of the road
from Jeanerctte to Abbeville is a
fixed fact. and that all doubts should
be cast aside.
Our gcneial friend, Mr.. BaziIe
broussard, has recently had his
market house renovated and put in
genteel order, which gives q pleasant
and inviting appearance to the
passer-by. Ia addition to his well
finished building, and to please the

THROUGH some misunderstanding,
the postofiice has been discontinued
at Rosamond. The people of Ante
lope valley are thereby deprived of a
great convenience, and are now COM
PEELED to go twelve miles away to Lam
caster for their mails. The office paid
to the government something over its

gradually increasing. To restore it to

An obstruction seems likely to be
placed in the way of large railway ex-
penditures in the city by the Southern
Pacific Company. The local columns
of the HERALD some time since stated
the probability and feasibility OF the
location of new depot for that COM
pany on Buena Vista street. Later it
was stated that the Wolfskill property
on Alameda street had been bonded
by that company, and that a track for
the East would be built from Alameda
street to and across the river near
First street, thence along the ravine
in rear of the County Hospital to a
junction with the old line near the triple
tracks. This improvement, for land,
track, bridge and right of way, would
incur an expenditure of about mil
lion dollars I'm Los Angeles but it is
observed that no work or semblance of
work has been begun. 1t is further
stated that Fproperty-holders on the
east side of Alameda street have put
such extravagant prices on the right
of way that the company may prefer
to use the plan outlined in the HER
AID, by putting the new depot on their
own land on Buena Vista street, and
thus the great projected work of the
company lin the city would be pre-
vented. This was the rumor and sus-
picion yesterday. Time will prove
whether yesterdays rumors and sus-
picions are true.

THE local columns this morning
chronicle one of the saddest accidents
that has ever occurred in Los Angeles,
resulting in the instant death of the
promising son of Judge A. M. Stephens.
1t has cast a cloud of sorrow over the
large circle of friends and relations of
Judge Stephens, and the most heart
felt sympathy of the community goes
out to the stricken family in their hour
of affiiction. The accident was one
of those which could not have been
foreseen or prevented; but the grief of
the parents of little Arthur is none the
less poignant.

THE young men who trife with Sac
ramento girls take their lives in their
own hands. The killing of Jane S
Patterson by Matte Allen, has been
followed by the death of the girl, and
this perhaps closes to the public the
inside history OF the remarkable trag-
edy. But we can well imagine what
wrought the girl up to the homicidal
frenzy. 1t was doubtless repetition
of the affair of Fannie Wesley, who a
year ago stood in wait for the Young
musician Kline, one Sunday night,
and when he came from the stand
where he had been playing the cornet,
she shot him dead. Had Matte not
laid violent hands on herself she
would have been acquitted for the
murder the same as Fannie Wesley
was. The girl that has the nerve to
kill her betrayer can do so with i'm
punity. They frequently make the at
tempt and fail. But Sacramento girls
seem to be steady-handed and fatal
with the trigger.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-07-19

One secret of the great prosperity of
Southern California is the vast and
ever increasing variety of its products
and industries. This all-important
fact has been SO widely spread abroad
by the press that immigrants are
coming to this favored land by thous-
ands. There is something for every
body to do. There is some industry
that is always independent of the
vicissitudes of the seasons, and which
supplies employment and bread for
the people. If the season is so wet as
to injure grain it benefits the miner OF
gold and silver. If dry season pre-
vails--as such season may prevail in
any country-the fruit crop comes in
in royal style and lucious flavor;
while the great fields of borax are al
ways there to fill up their quota in the
general result. No eccentricity of
season or fuctuation of the market can
affect all of the vast products of the
land alike. If the orange crop prove
moderate, the grape crop, with its
wealth of wine, raisins and brandy,
will supply the deficiency in the in
come of the people. When the apple
crop is light the peach crop is usually
abundant; and when apricots are light
the olive is prolific. If barley fail to
supply hay, alfalfa comes in to take
its place; while the supply of vege-
tables is constant and rewarding to the
producer. The average values of the
products OF South California are more
constant than in any other part OF the
world. When coal is dear petroleum
comes in to take its place, and as the
demand for the latter increases, the
supply promptly increases. As pop
ulation augments, the production OF
needful supplies increases, thus main
tanning a proper and constant equili-
brum of supply and demand. The
market for labor is being enlarged by
the opening of great quarries of gran
ite, marble, sandstone, white clay,
soapstone, lithograph rock, grindstone,
and vast beds of asphaltum. An
excursion will leave this city to-
morrow to inspect new and
immense deposit of coal and
fire-clay in San Diego county, and yes
terday an immense body OF valuable
rock was discovered within the city
limits. Gas wells are increasing in
number and yield a steady flow for
light and fuel. A country with such
a multiplicity of products does not ap-
pear on the map of the world as the
territory known as South California.
These products have the world for a
market, so that if one portion of our
section experiences dull times the
activities in other portions will bring
up the general average to gratifying
range of prosperity. a. This remarkable
fact gives to the market for this Sec
ton broader and more solid basis
than appears at first glance, and shows
a valid reason for the rapid increase OF
our population.

benches? Is there nothing in the fact
that Langtry will fill house when the
Countess Arco (Janisch) will not
fill the front seats? Is there
nothing in the popularity of
the public taste that sensa-
tion like young Dumas's Camille will
overflow the managerial treasury,
when Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
will not bring enough money to the
box-otiice to pay for the gaslight? The
fault lies deeper than Mr.. Boucicault
thinks. The newspapers may help to
change the public taste; but the
public taste is formed from the times.
and will only be completely revolu-
tionized when the spirit of the age has
become less mercurial and more con-
templative and severely intellectual.
